Yes. Your service is facilitating the communication. If two people get
into a fight through your list, carry it off into private email and it
turns abusive, you still have responsibility, because you still have a
liability issue. How much liability depends on the situation and who
does what, but don't for a second think the court won't see you as at
least partially liable as the owner of the source of the abuse.
